Essential Preparation

We train in Florida during the winter and in New England during the summer, chasing the best wind and warm temperatures. There are non-Paralympic Sonar events from May to October in the United States, but in order to face our toughest competition we need to sail in to the European circuit. Europe has more teams, more events, and will best replicate the competitive environment we can expect at the Paralympics.With full time jobs and limited financial resources, sometimes the hardest part of an event is simply figuring out how to get there.

To be ready for Rio, we must sail as many days as possible.

STAY UP TO DATE

Training camps and competitions take us across the country and around the world. The best way to see where we are is by following Team USA One and the US Sailing Team Sperry on Facebook and Twitter.
